Toshiba researchers use TiNb2O7 anodes for high-energy, fast-charging, long-life Li-ion batteries for EVs

Green Car Congress

A team at Toshiba’s Corporate Research & Development Center in Kawasaki, Japan, has developed a high-density TiNb 2 O 7 (HD-TNO) composite electrode consisting of micro-size spherical TNO secondary particles coated with carbon. The team fabricated large-size lithium-ion batteries using the HD-TNO anode and a LiNi 0.6

ORNL team finds way to deliver on promise of VO2(B) Li-ion cathode

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have discovered a way to achieve the promise of bronze-phase vanadium dioxide [VO 2 (B)] as an electrode material for Li-ion batteries. Thus, VO2(B) has been expected to exhibit both high capacity and rapid Li ion diffusion. —Lee et al. Click to enlarge.

Historical prices and future cost predictions for lithium-ion batteries. They noted that due to current sales trends, three lithium-ion chemistries account for nearly all of the storage capacity, and half of the cells are cylindrical. NCA cells are $206 kWh -1 and NMC cells are $180 kWh -1. —Ciez and Whitacre.
